I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Checkout.com (London, England) in Apr 2024
Interview
Great process, but surprisingly immature in working policies. No flexibilty in days in office, so no inclusuon policy at all. Perhaps they're used to younger staff who can't manage their own time or have no other responsibilties. Pay is also for junior staff/second jobbers. Non-starter, couldn't progress further.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you create balance between fixing client issues and farming for new opportunities.
I was interviewed by someone from London who was significantly late. The interview seemed to go well, and I was even briefed on the next steps. Then—radio silence. I sent a follow-up email and never received a response. A simple update would have been appreciated. Professional courtesy shouldn’t be that hard.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Checkout.com
Interview
Interview process was a couple of interviews and then a case study round, and then there would have been a final interview. I had brilliant comms from the internal talent team during the first two interviews, giving me clear feedback that I made sure I addressed in the next round. After the case study round, which took hours to prepare and present, all I received was an automated rejection email which contradicted all my previous positive feedback and I didn’t hear from the talent team again. Very disappointing for a big company that prides themselves on their culture
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Paris) in June 2024
Interview
The recruitment process was smooth and efficient, taking 5 weeks to complete. It included four quality interviews and a concrete case study to be presented in front of an international panel.
